thanks for the heads up, mini.

 

Much appreciated, Minimalist! With Chrome 100 Stable due in 4 days, it's encouraging to see that they did not wait to release this update!

 

You're welcome. I agree. Great to see them fix zero days without delay.

 

aha. back to eset, huh?

 

yes, I'm switching AVs at the moment

 

Article is from February 16, 2022, but with Chrome 100 Stable due in 3 days, worth looking into...

Mozilla warns Chrome, Firefox ‘100’ user agents may break sites

cool. thanks, page. looking forward to it.

 

Wow already huh? Anything special coming in version 100?

 

Just the usual list of planned features that, honestly, mean very little to me...


Chrome Platform Status

 

Me too, unless 100 breaks some sites, as per the BleepingComputer article linked above.

 

Thanks @Page42 definitely nothing interesting to me either.

 

Google Chrome 100.0.4896.60 Stable Channel Update for Desktop

Thank you for the notice, Gandalf_The_Grey!

Chrome 100.0.4896.60 contains 28 security fixes (9 rated High and 10 rated Medium) that were "contributed by external researchers". In addition, per the release statement, "internal security work was responsible for a wide range of fixes".

 

Wow that is a lot of security fixes.

 

Yes! And I'm always torn between happiness that so many fixes were implemented, and concern that there was so much wrong with the previous version.

 

It's a never ending cycle...

 

Chrome's current market share is like 63% world-wide. So, better keep it clean and tidy or starting losing it, right?

 

Really is that all? Figured the percentage would be higher than that.

 

From what I understand, Chrome holds the upper hand security-wise, while Firefox holds the upper hand privacy-wise. Sounds about right.
